TOV Dorsal Hump Surgery
Only the hump, softened —
your original nasal bridge stays
A dorsal hump must be corrected by distinguishing how much the bone and the cartilage each protrude.
Unless the nasal bone is excessively large or wide, TOV Plastic Surgery does not routinely perform osteotomy. We lower the protruding septal cartilage only as much as needed and finely refine the bony part with a drill to create a natural nasal dorsum.
We preserve the existing structure as much as possible
Removing too much of the hump can lower the nasal bridge or make the middle of the dorsum narrow and awkward.
TOV dorsal hump surgery preserves the upper lateral cartilages as much as possible and reorganizes them, so your own cartilage naturally covers and supports the dorsum.
Even without a separate nasal bridge implant, only the hump can be softened while keeping your existing height and character.

Not every case is possible without osteotomy
When the nasal bone is large and wide or the hump is severe, osteotomy may be needed. We decide the surgical method after accurately diagnosing the width and height of the nasal bone, the cartilage structure and the balance of the tip.
Rather than lowering too much,
your original nasal bridge, naturally
While keeping the character of your face,
only the prominent hump is smoothly refined.
